Lyrics

I want something to live for Someone to make my life an adventurous dream Oh, what wouldn't I give for Someone who'd take my life And make it seem gay as they say it ought to be Why can't I have love like that brought to me? My eye is watching the noon crowds Searching the promenades, seeking a clue To the one who will someday be my Something to live for My eye is watching the noon crowds Searching the promenades, seeking a clue To the one who will someday be my Something to live for
